Let's not get arrested this year on our own property, eh...

No worries. Don't think I'll be having anymore problems out of that particular Gestopo game warden. Seems he got transferred upstate. I wonder what brought that about?

That's too bad JM. I always got good results from them too.

These two uppers will likely do the primary work for most of the season. The new (old 1-12" twist Colt barrel, but new assembly) upper knocks off almost a pound from the ol' favorite:


Found a "no forward assist" upper from Ranier that has been substituted for the flattop shown here since these photos were done. Probably get new photos in a week or three.


Tiny ACOG, and no irons. Rainy days will be the big test.
